truck won't start, replaced hpop

[bob68vw]

So ford tells me after diagnostic number 2 and 3 tows and one hpop later, that it's my low pressure oil pump. So now we have tow #4 total so far $260.00 in diag. $260.00 in tow fees $531.00 for hpop and $750.00 for lpop. They wanted $2400.00 to replace it. Told me it's a 13hr job, I got the front of the engine apart in 1.5hrs minus 2 power steering bolt bolts.
Anyone else have this problem? I hope my truck runs after all this. I'm broke now, so much for a tax refund.

wow can you spell fist in the a##? so perhaps the hpop was fine all along? i would be asking for my old hpop back and have it tested. could have been lpop all along!!

Yes we can fordman60 and it still hurts. If this don't fix it they will be fixing it for free I can tell you that.

When I first had it towed they told me hpop and $1800 to fix ( they say 10 hours to replace did it in 6) , ok tow it home I'll do it $530 for part $60 for towing. Still no start, tow it back $60 and $130 diag. Now oh it's your low pressure oil pump $2400, ok I can fix that to, tow it back $60 and the part $620 ( they said 13 hour job, I did it in 5 ). Trip to wal-mart for battery charger let it charge over night and crank for 5 minutes and we have ignition. They need to burn that book they go by for how long it takes or is it just to screw us with!

You need to get a scanner so you can save in the towing and diagnostic charges. AutoEnginuity® - OBD2 Scan Tool - Professional PC and PDA Diagnostics
